Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen. John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Radek Zelenka, Evan Lorne
Rating: Gen
Length: ~7000
Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings apply
Creator Links: Sholio on AO3, Sholio's website with more SGA fic, almost_clara on Dreamwidth
Theme: Outsider POV, Team as family, Friendship, Action/adventure

Summary: Radek struggles, sometimes, with the feeling that he's an outsider to the closeness that Sheppard's team share. Offworld rescue missions tend to put things in perspective, though.

Reccer's Notes: Written for the SGA Reversebang, this is an interesting story by Sholio about Radek observing Rodney's team, at first a little wistfully, but later deciding he's happier in the Science Department without those intense bonds and all they imply, especially after a dangerous rescue mission offworld. Excellent writing, and gorgeous art by almost_clara.

Across the footbridge into a landscape of water and rock in the Welsh hills.

Nant Gwernol in Welsh means Gwernol Stream and it's a pretty spectacular stream!

Wonderful color on the moon last Saturday. Several photos came out like the one below, just a bright ball of light. But we did get a few pics of the color, and I like the way the branches framed it.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen: background OFC/OMC, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Rating: Mature (for violence)
Length: 9462
Content Notes: Canon-level violence, explicit depiction of extreme pain. Killing of background OMCs. Briefly mentioned off-screen killing of a pet animal.
Creator Links: sadly, no. Rivier's LJ is locked now.
Theme: Outsider POV, Action/adventure, Team as family

Summary: see below

Reccer's Notes: This is the John Sheppard of The Storm/The Eye, in this story using cold ruthlessness to rescue Rodney from allies of the Genii. It's told entirely from the POV of an original female character, the wife of a powerful local man who's been complicit in capturing and torturing Rodney. John's taken her as a hostage to force Rodney's return, and we see the drama play out through her eyes. There's some great worldbuilding conveyed through her perspective, and her appraisal of John and Rodney is interesting. The bond between John and Rodney is intense but it's left unstated whether they're more than close friends and found family to each other. Beautifully written, gripping, and a great read, especially if you like a dark, fiercely competent John.

I finally got a new camera - just in time for spring to hit. Most of the trees around here don't have any leaves yet, but a lot have started to blossom. Here's a couple of closeups from the last couple of days and weeks, as well as two pictures that show off how good my new camera is at making things look a bit moody:

First up, Purple-leaf plum blossoms:

We had a trip to north Wales last week to the coastal town of Tywyn (pronounced 'tow' as in truck- win)

Our first full day in Tywyn was a bit mirky although mild enough.

We set out for a walk on the northern coastal side of the town to the hamlet of Tonfanau.

Fandom: Leverage
Pairings/Characters: Amy Palavi, Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer
Rating: General Audiences
Length: 8,606 words
Creator Links:

Laughsalot3412
Theme: Outside POV; characters of color, competence, female friendship, polyamory

Summary: So, apparently Amy’s boss was part of a criminal gang.

Reccer's Notes:
Do you remember Amy Palavi, the waitress in Leverage's brewpub from The Broken Wing Job? This story follows her as she grows closer to the trio. It's an interesting perspective on them, and also she gets to have a really satisfying story of her own, interwoven with theirs. Her developing friendship with Parker (and to a different degree also Hardison and Eliot) is wonderful.

Content Notes:

Amy and her family are subject to a racist online smear campaign. Leverage does something against it.

Pairings: Sam/Josh
Rating: T
Length: 11,539
Creator Links:

thegoodthebadandthenerdy
Theme: Outsider POV, Happy Endings, Missing Scenes, Politics, Post-canon, Worldbuilding

Summary: It was practically fable around the office after that: Sam Seaborn, his old friend, and the state of New Hampshire.
-
Or: A story told in six parts by three people who remember the guy that walked out on his future in the middle of a rainstorm.

Reccer's Notes: It's unusual to tag a nominally 'our universe'-setting fic with 'Worldbuilding' but this fic does just such a stellar job fleshing out Sam's network of relationships through his time as a lawyer with Gage-Whitney into the future, it really deserves it! Every character here feels just so real and full it's almost hard to believe they're all OCs, and each provides their own form of comparison and contrast to Sam and his relationship with Josh. This really is a fic about that scene in particular and the way it is mythologised in-universe (because, really: what kind of romantic comedy climax scene even was that, even in canon?!), but by the end, the fic has also provided my current favourite depiction of Sam's career progression post-canon. It reads like such a labour of love, and the result is so impossibly satisfying. <3
